Your Day Deserves a 5-Minute Reset

The fastest way to feel human again (without hiding in the pantry)

Hi y’all,

Don’t worry. You don’t need a two-week vacation yet.

You need five quiet minutes and a reason to take them.

I know what it feels like to run on fumes. To throw snacks in a backpack, fire off one more email, and pretend you’re not about to cry in your parked car.

To get through another day by disappearing from it.

I’ve been there, both as a woman in tech and as a former nun. And what I learned is that your nervous system doesn’t run on nonstop demands.

You can’t think clearly, connect deeply, or feel grounded without a pause.

So today, we’re exploring a practical micro-mindfulness tool: The 5-Minute Reset.

Here’s what we’ll cover:

• Why a short pause can make you more productive, not less.

• The truth about what “resets” your nervous system (it’s not scrolling).

• A simple 3-step tool you can use starting today.

Take a breath. Let’s dig in.
